The roble had hit a record low after the West imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its aggression in Ukraine. Russia's president recently ordered exports of Russian gas to "unfriendly" countries to be settled in robles. The speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament said Moscow was prepared and could shift supplies to markets such as Asia if Europe refused to buy Russian energy.

European countries, which pay mostly in euros, say Russia has no right to reset contracts.  The G7 rejected Russia's demand and urged companies not to agree to pay in robles, saying most contracts stipulated payment in euros or dollars. Wholesale gas prices in Europe have risen further recently on concerns about potential supply disruptions.

The Kremlin spokesman said, "According to the March 31 deadline set by Russia's president, we are developing all payment methods to get a simple, understandable, and feasible system for relevant European and international buyers,"

The markets and prices of more commodities like the polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer would be affected because of the volatile international political situations.

In recent years, polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer has been widely used in many construction fields.  Modern concrete has high requirements for additional functional additives, so polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent in the concrete system, it should consider the following key technologies.  

The compatibility technology of polycarboxylic acid series.  Because of the special structure of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, it can not be stored and used with other superplasticizers, especially naphthalene superplasticizer.  Need and different type of water reducing agent for alternate use, must be the relevant container for serious cleaning cleaning, prevent cross pollution to affect the quality of concrete.  The adsorption performance of water reducing agent is not the same because of different types of cement, because the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is relatively narrow in the compatible range of cement, the incompatible situation is inevitable, so it is necessary to increase its dosage or use different types of cement to effectively solve this problem.  

⑵ retarding technology of polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent.  In the construction process, due to the short retarding time, the use of retarding agent can effectively prolong the plasticity of concrete.  However, the incompatibility of the two should also be considered to avoid the reduction of concrete performance.  

⑶ Gas control.  Polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent entrainment effect is very good, can be used together with defoaming agent, entrainment agent.  The gas content of concrete can be controlled and its workability and durability can be improved by removing the concrete and then introducing it.  

(4) Control of mud content in sand and stone.  The application effect of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer is also affected by the mud content of sand and stone.  If the mud content in the sand exceeds 2%, the structures between the clay layers will therefore absorb large amounts of water reducing agent molecules, reducing the flow performance of the concrete.  If the mud content is relatively large in the construction process, the anti-clay polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent should be considered.

Researchers at the Centre for Translational Atomic Materials at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia have developed a new graphene film that absorbs more than 90% of sunlight while eliminating most of the infrared thermal emission losses, a highly efficient A solar-heated metamaterial capable of rapidly heating to 83 degrees Celsius (181 degrees Fahrenheit) in an open environment with minimal heat loss. Proposed applications for the film include thermal energy harvesting and storage, solar thermal power generation, and seawater desalination.
